It’s not about finding the perfect person, because nobody is perfect. Hell, it’s not even about finding the perfect person tailored for you, because more than likely, they’ll have some flaw. It’s finding what subset of qualities and attributes are enough for you. Some people have a low threshold while others have an unbelievably high threshold. And that’s fine. We only live once right? Some people don’t want to die with nothing while others want to die with nothing but the best. And best is of course, subjective.
Who are we to judge? And who’s to say we even need to find someone?
Just know that everyone has some worth. And each individual’s worth fluctuates oh so often. Fluctuates to each other individual. So before you feel inadequate, just want to say….
If your significant other hasn’t told you how much you mean to them….
If the little things you do don’t get noticed…
If you’re chasing a moving target…
If the timing is always wrong…
Maybe we overthink too much. Maybe we ask for confirmation when it’s unnecessary. Everyone expresses their emotions different.
Because I know how it feels to feel worthless. I know how it feels to have your emotions and insecurities trick and try to persuade you that you’re worth less than what you’re worth. To constantly compare yourself to others and feel the crushing pull on your heartstrings. When the cards you’re dealt with give you no easy hands. But see, you all have something that you, and only you, can offer to anyone. It may necessarily be “better” than what others may offer.
Be confident.
My laugh is infectious.
My pinky is extended whenever I eat or drink.
My Yu-Gi-Oh! plays are both YOLO and hella unorthodox.
….but it works.
And it’s these quirks that make us unique, that make us lovable. Because Im convinced that whoever is with me will know a love like no other. Someone who will put equal if not more effort. That they can rest assured knowing that they are indeed, the center of my world.
Yes, I won’t ever doubt this shit again. I promise you.
We’ll find our niche. Someday. Or our niche finds us.
Maybe.
